The comic book character's position as an honorary ambassador to the United Nations will end on Friday — just two months after her controversial appointment, according to the United Nations.

Wonder Woman's new platform was meant to be part of an empowerment campaign for women and girls, but as soon as news broke that she would serve as an ambassador, her scantily clad looks caused a public outcry.

A spokesperson for the UN told the Daily News that its fictional character campaigns typically only last a short time and Wonder Woman's campaign was initially slated to end around this time.

However, there was some confusion as DC Entertainment plans to use the character in future endeavors to carry out the UN's mission of achieving gender equality and empower all women and girls through 2017.

The superhero's appointment sparked enough controversy to lead people to create an online petition to have UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon reconsider the decision. About 45,000 people signed the pledge — including a handful of UN staffers.

Nearly 100 demonstrators turned out during the October ceremony where Wonder Woman was named an ambassador in order to protest the decision.

Actresses Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot, who both played the iconic superwoman, also attended the ceremony.

Carter said ahead of her "CBS This Morning" appearance back in October that the protests were "ridiculous."

"It's bull because they're nitpicking on something that has nothing to do with anything. They're just being silly ... get over yourself already," the 65-year-old star said.

The team behind the Wonder Woman character — which was first featured in 1941 — said they were proud of the superwoman's impact in the brief time.

"[We] are extremely pleased with the awareness that this partnership brought to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5, as well as elevating the global conversation around the empowerment of women and girls," a spokesperson said in a statement to the Daily News.

"Wonder Woman stands for peace, justice and equality, and for 75 years she has been a motivating force for many and will continue to be long after the conclusion of her UN Honorary Ambassadorship."

Other fictional characters have held the role of UN ambassadors, including Winnie the Pooh, Tinkerbell and the red Angry Bird. The Angry Bird campaign lasted just one day.
